Members Faulkner Posted November 30, 2021 Members Share Posted November 30, 2021 Empire with a dash of Falcon Crest. It definitely looks beautiful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 1, 2021 Members Share Posted December 1, 2021 There’s a VERY similar series with a Latino wine family coming to ABC in January: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted December 1, 2021 Members Share Posted December 1, 2021 Definately Falcon Crest ^2. Plus there's "Our Kind of People" on Fox which has similar themes but with haircare instead if wine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Please register in order to view this content Missed the last 15 minutes and will watch again tonight but I'm not smelling what these people have cooked. It was dull and a huge reveal that should have taken a few eppies to build happened in the middle of the show like it was a comedy skit. It didn't move me and that's a shame because the lead, a beautiful dark skinned woman, is a good actress and fits the role. We don't get that often with these shows. I was also happy that a little person was in a lead role with a gorgeous English wife who supports him no matter what. I will keep my expectations to a reasonable level until I drop this show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted January 13, 2022 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 I wasn't impressed. This season has not been good for primetime soaps. Our Kind of People and Queens are both flops, let's see what Promised Land will be like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) To my surprise Queens was actually decent, much better than Our Kind of People. It just can't find an audience though. One thing I believe daytime used to better at than prime time is slowly building up a continuous plot. Primetime serial dramas like Riverdale seam to eat through plot way too rapidly. Primetime soaps seem to be limited to romance, business and occasionally crime storylines where as daytime gives you a variety of melodramatic plots.

Members Soaplovers Posted January 15, 2022 Members Share Posted January 15, 2022 If you look at 80s primetime soaps like Dallas and Knots Landing...they had various plotlines at different places and there were slow builds. I think for a primetime soap to work, you need a soap writer in the writing room that understands pacing and payoffs. Queens had potential, but burned through soap plots too quickly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted February 1, 2022 Members Share Posted February 1, 2022 The pilot was wayyyy to full of plotlines, but I'm liking the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
